Hi,
I know that MySQL drops-and-creates the table when doing an alter table of any kind.
Also, i know there is no embedded way to drop and create an index online, to rebuild it.
Is there a method someone here uses that can duplicate this behavior in a reliable way? Meaning, create another table, somehow copy diffs there, and then apply them, without the application being aware of that? I’ve googled and searched the forum, can’t find anything about this.
Thanks in advance,
Shlomo
